How does society affect the choices that individuals make?

Answer 1

Society affects all of us by showing us a certain way to live. Our media raises our expectations, and our economy ensures that very few people can realize those. New technologies get us used to information at our fingertips and lack of privacy, and so many other things. We can of course change our minds, make our own choices, and take personal responsibility for our actions, but there is no doubt that our society is an influence on us.

Answer 2

Back when I was taking the course "Social Environment" I was taught that society shapes who a person is. There is the theory of "survival of the fittest" where only the strong survive. In order to be considered the strong an individual must learn to adapt to his/her society in order to be an active member of said society. It might change the way the individual thinks or acts or even what they eat. Most individuals also succumb to the culture of the society they live in.

Society controls every single aspect of your life by its establishment of "good" or "proper" actions relationships, morals, music, food, religion, what you can wear, the language you can use. As an example if you wish to have a nice meal of chimpanzee in North America you would shunned, The same would go for not covering parts of your body, smoking in your office, or dressing up a pink bunny at random funerals. These social values are so deeply engrained that you probably not even think of doing any of these things even though they are only different not wrong.You would not, however, think pf inadvertently violating some of the social values of other cultures. As examples you might fly a kite in some Middle Easter areas, offer a gift with your left hand (so you can shake hands with your right) in India, touch a Chinese child on the head, or sit with your legs crossed and the sole of your shoe showing in Thailand.
